Kenya’s First Green Mortgage Launched by HF Group

HF Group has introduced Kenya’s first green mortgage product, offering 0.5% interest rate discount for energy-efficient homes. Launched in June 2024, the EcoHome Loan applies to houses with solar panels, rainwater harvesting, or green certification. Partnering with the Green Building Council of Kenya, HF aims to finance 5,000 eco-homes by 2026. The product aligns with the Central Bank’s climate risk guidelines and supports sustainable urban development. Early adopters include buyers in Tatu City and Greenpark Estate. The World Bank praised the innovation as a catalyst for green construction finance in East Africa.
